PTP_FILTER does not verify that the packet length is sufficient to hold
a complete PTP header, nor does it require that the IPv4 header length
is 5 (i.e. 20 bytes).  So you have to check those here rather than using
magic numbers.

I think you also need to use be16_to_cpup() to read 'id' and 'hi', since
the host byte order may vary.
